I like to run a pretty minimal OS X Dock, here’s how it looks when I start-up my MacBook:
Nice, huh? No applications, no distractions.
I do this because I like to use keyboard shortcuts as much as possible, so I find all my applications by doing Spotlight searches, which can be activated by pressing Apple Key + SPACE.
I find this approach is faster and less distracting. I use Spotlight to find apps, email, files, folders, ical events, contacts, whatever. It’s faster than clicking around with a mouse.
Spotlight also has a few handy modifiers for performing more complex searches, you can use NOT, OR & AND along with your keywords. For example: name NOT .doc will search for things called name that are not Word docs.
